Nokia Booklet 3G Netbook Gets First Clone
A week doesn’t go by where you can’t catch numerous netbook and tablet clones coming out of China. Now and then something interesting pops off the Shenzhen assembly line like this Vaye HY116 – the world’s fist Nokia Booklet 3G clone.
The Vaye HY116 has got the looks down good enough to fool you and your friends (with an entirely metal chassis – no cheap plastics), until you notice the missing Nokia logo or you actually turn it on to find Windows XP running on it instead of Windows 7.
Being out of Shenzhen, there’s no Poulsbo platform on board (Atom Z530, GMA 500 graphics) but just the standard netbook guts – an Atom N450 processor, GMA 3150 graphics, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 1.3MP webcam and a 3,200 mAh li-poly battery, so it won’t even come close to get 10 – 12 hours of battery life that the real deal is claimed to reach (you’ll get 4 – 5 hours at best). Likewise, there’s no HD 1280 x 720 display here, just the standard 1024 x 600 netbook resolution.
